Our Bread isn't 'just bread'
We are proud of our bread and it goes without say that you can not group hand-crafted, flavorful and cared for bread like ours into the same category as mass produced, heavily yeasted, factory made 'bread'. For thousands of years bread like ours has been made to nurture the body and feed the community.
Organic & Local
I proudly mill all of our organic, local whole-grains in the bakery, each morning. Our local grains come from Janies Farm located three hours away in Illinois, Hitch Point Farms in Scotts, Michigan and even some I grow in my own yard! All of our loaves start with local grains and each purchase helps support our local farmers, millers, and bakers. Thank you for being part of a sustainable food system!
Naturally Leavened Bread
Sourdough is a process, not a product. Nearly all of our loaves start with wild yeast (no commercial yeast) and begins a slow, beautiful process to create a fulfilling, flavorful loaf from our stone oven nearly 30 hours later. I focus on naturally leavened for increased digestibility, flavor, health, and shelf-life. Naturally leavened bread provides easier gluten digestion, access to more vitamins and minerals, and has a lower glycemic index for an even release of energy. Even our croissants use extended fermentation for flavor and quality.

Flour, water, salt, touch of yeast and baked in a loaf pan for a soft, delicious and familiar taste. For almost five years now we have made bread like this, but it isn't until now that WSU is starting to help bakeries market these loaves to consumers unfamiliar with 'artisan breads'.
Our Janies Farm Wheat Pan Loaf is our Approachable loaf. A limited ingredient list (Fresh Ground Local Wheat, Water, Salt, Yeast, honey) and like our other breads, a price point to suit the consumer as well.
